God's Grace

In our flurry of trying to get everything ready for our trip I do not want to lose hold of what God has done and what He will continue to do for us. He has redeemed us and shown us what a true adopted family looks like and provided us with the most amazing calling of rescuing and adopting children. We have had our ups and downs in this journey, but not once have I felt forsaken by God. I pray our children will see that same model in us. That our love for them is unconditional and that they can trust that. In doing so that they will have an easier time understanding that God exist and loves them even more than we do.

We are preparing to meet our son and praying that God has supernaturally connected our hearts. We are so blessed to have this calling placed on our lives. There is no greater joy than seeing Micah and soon Isaac come to know the Lord. Jesus' greatest commandment is "go and make disciples...", well God has called me to be a stay at home mom with the responsibility of discipling two unbelievers that will by the grace of God be a part of His adopted family in His perfect timing.

5 1/2 more days til we leave, 4 1/2 suitcases packed, & so much more to get done.

How exciting!! I pray that everything goes smoothly. That was beautiful about your hearts being supernaturally connected. I pray that God will honor that and make Isaac's homecoming as easy as possible. Congratulations on your amazing new addition to the family!
